Parameter Estimation of LOGIT-based Stochastic User Equilibrium models using computational graphs and day-to-day system-level data

Parameter Estimation of Stochastic User Equilibrium with LOGIT assignment models (PESUELOGIT)

PESUELOGIT allows for the joint estimation of the Origin-Destination matrix using system-level data collected in multiple hourly periods and days. The diagram below shows a simplified representation of the computational graph that is solved for a toy transportation network with five nodes:

Development Setup

If using a Windows computer or a Macbook with Intel chip, you can use poetry for python packaging and dependency management. The steps are:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install the poetry cli.
3. Create a virtual environment: poetry shell
4. Create .lock file with project dependencies: poetry lock.
5. Install project dependencies: poetry install.
6. Run the tests: pytest

If using Linux or a Macbook with Apple Silicon chip, we recommend using Conda for python packaging and dependency management. The steps are:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Download and install Anaconda: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/index.html
3. Create virtual environment: conda create -n pesuelogit
4. Activate environment: conda activate pesuelogit
5. Install dependencies: conda env update -f pesuelogit.yml. If you are using linux, use pesuelogit-linux.yml instead.
6. Run the tests: pytest

This repository is currently compatible with Python 3.9.x

Examples

The folder examples/notebooks contains Jupyter notebooks with code demonstrations that can be reproduced from your local environment. If you are using VS Code, please make sure to select the pesuelogit environment as your kernel to run each notebook.
